how hard to fit disk front end


Gday. I figured out one way to fit a disc brake front end to my old 1000 coupe, It required a fair bit of work.. I used a mix of parts, and a bit of research in the disc catalogue at www.dba.com.au.

I used:
1. Sigma calipers, and Caliper mounts. (The model which is badged a 'chrysler sigma', which has flutes in the guards.)
2. 120y rotor's mounted on 1200 stub axles. (i think.. or maybe it was 1200 rotors on 120y stub axles.. One will not fit.)
3. I got a mate to weld 2 of the holes in the caliper mounts up. I then trial fitted the calipers and rotors and re-drilled the two caliper mount holes.
4. To make the brake pads fit, I had to use an angle grinder to take a bit of the backing plate off. (Bodgey I know)

I initially had some problems with the calipers binding, and sticking on, with a bit of mucking around I got it all sorted. It took some quality time on my back at pick 'n payless to figure this all out.
James.
